Chapter Eleven

Ditto Kiddo

Nicky looked at Alex like she was insane. "I went to Max, I didn't lose my memory Vause. I recall the conversation we had the day they hauled and unconscious Chapman to the SHU," she said in a smart ass tone. Alex pushed her glasses up on her nose and walked over to Nicky's bunk.

"I remember, Nicky. I...I know you use sex to help take off the edge a bit," Alex said in a calm voice. Piper looked at them and couldn't help but wonder about that conversation.

"I'd like to hear about this conversation, Nicky...you didn't mention it when I got back from Chicago," she tried not to sound pissed but she knew she was failing. Alex tensed and turned to look at her in a way that Piper knew meant she was aware that Piper was about to blow. In all honesty, Alex had to manage a very tempermental young adult when they were together before. Piper was more mature, but she still had a terrible temper.

"Let's get back to the question at hand...No, I don't want a threesome...and yes I use sex to help manage my addiction. It does make it hard, but not like its gonna send me back to using, unless you know where soemthing is hidden in here. I guess we're stuck," Nicky answered Alex. She looked over to Piper and sat up, swinging her legs over the bunk, mirroring Piper who was still seated on Alex's top bunk. "Ask your girlfriend about the conversation. I didn't tell you what she said because you hated her...for very good reason and you didn't want to be reminded that we slept together. Which we did a grand total of once..." Nicky was grinning in a way that told Piper there was more to the story.

"Alright, Alex what was the conversation about?"

"She told me she used sex to deal with her addiction, I said I did much the same thing after I got clean. I also told her I thought we made better friends," Alex said softly. Piper knew there was more to it. Alex was a good liar but she watched Nicky's face and knew she'd left out part of it.

"What is she leaving out Nicky?" Piper said and Alex shot her a glance. Nicky was loving the conflict. It was distracting her from her plight of being locked up so completely with them. Piper knew she'd got used to being locked in at night in Max but this was different as they were being kept away from all other prisoners. Nicky had no opportunity to fuck away her problems and Alex was meeting that head on...but soemthing else wasn't being mentioned.

"We enjoyed ourselves enough, but it wasn't great love. No...you see, I saw her when she fell apart. I held her back to keep her from tearing through guards to see if you were alright. I had to get help, Morello held on to her as well. Once you were gone and out of sight she calmed down," Nicky told her.

"Shut up Nichols," Alex barked. She started to pace some in the small room. Piper nodded her head softly. She had wondered if Alex had even known she was in SEG...she never imagined she saw her being carried away. She didn't remember a thing.

"I don't remember anything after Suz- um after I passed out," Piper informed them. Alex looked over at her a bit surprised but then seemed to recall how Piper told her about Suzanne knocking her block off. "I didn't know you saw me."

"We weren't in the show. Fisher found you when she went outside to talk to her date. We passed them in the hall, we were late... and she said Merry Christmas. A few moments later she ran back inside and got Caputo...Cos ran out and we went to look at the end of the hall. Some of the girls came out from the show, Boo, Lorna and Norma was in the hall too. It was like Alex knew it was you because she said your name and started running to the door. She went out and I followed but there were guards right there. I heard them say to call an ambulance and then Caputo said to carry one to the infirmary and one to SHU. They picked you up by your arms and Alex made sound...Bell pushed us all back into the Chapel and we held Alex there to keep her from chasing after you. Everyone thought that you'd had your ass kicked but we found out you put that fucking meth head in the infirmary. You were checked out by the nurse and hauled off to the SHU...I bet you woke up with a head ache and wrist bruises from the cuffs," Nicky rambled on in her explanation. Piper rubbed her neck and thought back to that night.

"It's over and done. Just...you know, don't touch Piper," Alex said.

"I told you I wouldn't. You see Piper, I asked flat out if she'd sleep with me again...and said what if I threw in a nice threesome with you. I offered to do most of the work so she could just enjoy-"

"Shut up, Nicky!" Alex spat out.

"Why the fuck did you have that conversation?" Piper interjected.

"Because she was losing her shit worried about you so I made her admit she was totally fucking in love with you and always would be. She asked me to never seduce you while you were there as a personal favor to her. She also asked me to help her stay celibate until you were out of there. She was hurting over you and had been having cheap sex with me when you needed her the most. Guilt...you know...you both revel in it when it comes to your fucked up relationship," Nicky observed.

Alex mumbled something about strangling Nicky in her sleep. Piper she just leaned back on Alex's bunk and looked at the ceiling of her cell. She remembered so well the expression on Alex's face when she called her name in Chicago. She had been genuinely surprised and so relieved to see her when they met up later. Alex loved her through everything and had made Nicky promise-

"Wait, did you purposely have Chang give me a low value in your game to keep Boo away from me as well?" Piper asked her suddenly. Nicky started to speak but just started to laugh. Piper sat up and asked her again. Nicky kept giggling until Alex joined in as well. "What?"

"No, I had her do it so it would fuck with you...I just didn't realize how MUCH it would fuck with you," Nicky giggled more and Piper threw Alex's pillow at her. Piper knew she was vain at times but that was no reason to laugh at her. She shot them both a bird and turned her back to them, curling up in the corner. Alex was still laughing when she climbed up into the bunk to try and console Piper. She shrugged off her first touch and Alex buried her face in Piper's hair.

"Come on, sorry...it was funny. Hey, I'm sorry I didn't want that conversation...it wasn't my finest hour," Alex admitted in a low tone. Piper exhaled and slumped back against her. Yet she still let Alex mumble, kiss and beg her to turn around for fifteen or so minutes.

"I'd tell you two to get a room but well, we can't. I tell ya what...I'm going to cover up with my blanket and zone out to my memories of a certain outer borough spitfire...you two enjoy making up," Nicky said from under her blanket. Piper froze at the idea of doing something with Nicky right there. Granted, it was easier to think of doing something Nicky there than Red.

Alex chuckled into Piper's hair. She then turned her over and kissed her so thoroughly that Piper forget everything. She was no longer scrunched together with her on a top bunk in a locked prison cell...she was simply lost in Alex's kiss. She kissed Piper breathless, then pulled back just enough to adjust so they were laying interwined completely.

"I'm going to kiss you for hours...until your lips are as swollen as your clit...then when you beg me, I may touch you," Alex whispered. Piper nearly came on the spot. She had done this to Piper before...when they were all crammed into a hotel room during a storm in Budapest. There were twelve people all trying to sleep after two days of partying. Alex had been quiet as she made Piper beg her out loud. She did it a couple of other times...once at her mom's house while Diane was asleep in the next room. She pulled back from her and pressed her forehead to Alex's gently. She had to think for a moment.

"Alex...if we...oh fuck I want to more than anything in the world, but if we do this again...I can't go back to not touching you when I want," Piper breathed into her ear. She couldn't stand going there with Alex again and then having to stand back in the cold reality of being a fuck up. She could hear Nicky breathing and wanted to focus on Alex but she had to be sure she understood.

"Deal, there isn't a need now for me to initiate...I want to touch you...I need to drive you insane," she whispered into her ear. Piper's body reacted like her voice was a turbulent ocean wave slapping against her flesh. Alex used her hand to push Piper's pants down. She saw her look at the door. From the height of her bunk, they could see into the hallway if the window was open. It wasn't open and somehow that fueled her desire.

Alex started to kiss her again. She did as she promised. She kissed her so well, so completely that Piper nearly came. Her lover's hands slow went down her body until Piper was squirming for release. Alex never let up from her mouth and totally swallowed all her desperate sounds. Piper had no idea how long they kissed but finally...finally Alex rotated her fingertips on Piper's engorged clit and sent her flying. It was like all of her breath was sucked into Alex and each molecule of her body screamed for more as she came. Her body jerked and Alex pressed her down in the bed. Piper fell apart afterwards. They had hate sex that blew her mind, but this was unreal. She felt connected to her in a way that was overwhelming. She cried on Alex's shoulder, hiding her face in her hair. Alex was still panting from the exertion of simply not plowing Piper silly. Her body hummed with erotic energy and Piper clung to her.

"Shhh baby, I got you," she finally said in her thick voice. Right after she said that Piper heard something from Nicky's bunk. It was a squeak that she interpreted to be the noise that escaped her as she rubbed herself off. It wasn't a threesome but it was intimate. It was the forced intimacy she had to get used to at Litchfield. Piper was glad it was Nicky though. She wiped her eyes and mumbled she was sorry to Alex. Her love simply kissed her eyelids softly and Piper knew it was all okay.

She wanted to return the favor but it was close to count. Alex held her a little while longer and then slid off the bunk bed to wash up. She wet one of her shirts and climbed by up to clean Piper softly and adjust her pants back in place. Piper blushed all over and touched her lips softly. They throbbed from being kissed so hard and it made her shiver when she realized it. Alex just grinned at her in a very smug, satisfied manner that Piper really couldn't argue with because she was by far the best lover Piper ever had.

"I love you Alex," Piper said to her as she was finishing up adjusting Piper's shirt as well. Alex bent and kissed her again.

"Ditto Kiddo," she whispered and then hopped off the bed.

"The room smells like we had sex," Nicky observed after she cleaned herself up as well. Piper blushed more and then laughed. She jumped down as well but her legs were still shaky and she had to grab the bed to keep from falling.

"We did," she observed. Alex mumbled about how sex was a whole lot more to her and she couldn't wait to get her hand inside of Piper. Piper had to sit on the bed as her knees gave out. Nicky grinned at her and then slapped Alex on the back.

"I gotta admit Chapman, I wish I'd never promised Vause anything about you. You were quiet but fuck...the sounds I did hear," she shook her head and her eyes were bright. Piper blushed more and groaned.

"Hey, be chivalrous...we can't help that we're all trapped in here together," Alex observed. Piper thoguht her correction would have more weight if she wasn't grinning. Alex had been through so much lately and it was good to see her smile...good to feel her desire again. Perhaps, just maybe they were getting back on the right track. She still had her plan in place though and with this forced solitary confinemnt that they pressed onto them, Piper was certain she'd have to follow through with it. The count came and no one commented on the musky aroma in the air. Piper held her breath when the officers came in to tick off the number of prisoners there. It was business as usual though and they waited their turn for food.

Red returned later than usual that evening and told them that she was late because she spoke to Mr. Healy about their situation. "He said it is basically protective custody without going to the SHU and that they would have put us in there but Caputo was afraid of Piper's family.

She snorted. "If he only knew exactly how disconnected they are from what is going on here," she mumbled.

"Good thing he isn't. I think they will let us out of here in a week or two. He also mentioned that he is going over the new hires and vetting them himself now," Red said in a tone that told them that it wasn't much but at least he is trying.

"Yeah two fucking murder attempts later," Piper mumbled. Alex did point out that he didn't know about the first. Red and Nicky, wisely said nothing. They were things were on the downlow but moreover they understood that Piper and Alex didn't tell them everything.

"He also told me that friend of yours, Lolly...she is in psyche. She kept pushing to see you two and started accusing the guards of being NSA agents. She actually attacked the nosey guard. They didn't send her to Max because she is obviously weak in the head," Red shared as she started to set up the card game. She wanted to learn to play a new game and Piper was enjoying teaching her.

Piper looked at Alex. What if Lolly talked while in Psyche and someone put two-and-two together. Alex pushed her glasses up and ran her fingers through her hair in a sigh of pure exasperation.

"Mother fuck," she whispered. " I told you she'd get off on an insanity plea." Piper nodded in agreement.

**I enjoyed all 15 reviews for the last chapter. I wanted to see if anyone was just dying to see a threesome with these three and I'm happy to say most of you figured out it wouldn't fit the story I was creating. I hope their intimacy was smexy enough for ya. Thanks so much for chiming in...not much happening with the girls in solitary but the next few chapters will shift the story. Please review! Fae***
